SIRCA are excited to announce the release of the Symbology Visualisation Tool (SVT), which is now live on the SIRCA Member Portal.

You can access the SVT here.

The SVT is designed to assist researchers in understanding the changes that have occurred to the names and ticker codes of ASX listed companies, including reuse of ticker codes, over time. This information is presented in an easy to understand graphical timeline format.

You can learn more about the SVT through our new Knowledge Base.

SIRCA would love to hear your feedback, so please test out the SVT and email your thoughts to enquiries@sirca.org.au.
